    Jobcentre are being marvellously efficient. They have sent me my P45 (never had 1 before) and stopped paying my allowance.
    However, there is no sign of the £100 I should get when i get a job to see me through!

    I thought it'd be a good option for the Bath Race For Life weekend!

    Oh cool. Off for a proper look :D

    Still not convinced I'll be able to make it. The race is at 2.30, so I would possibly miss the last train home :cool:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    My waters broke first with both of mine, before any contractions etc. Terrifying the first time, exciting the second :D

    *Possible TMI alert*
    This happened when I was having Elliot, was half asleep at 6am when there was an incredibly loud 'pop' and they gushed everywhere. went all over hubby's leg and made it very red and itchy for ages!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I've been very naughty and I'm treating myself to lunch at Michael Caines restuarant in Exeter on my birthday.

    I wish it was home time, I'm sleepy!

    When I was in the very early stages of pregnancy with DS, I went to one of the GPs at our practice for a check up. I walked in and the most handsome man was stood there. At one point, he checked my heart/pulse etc. Bless him, he was worried that my heart was racing so fast. If only he knew :rotfl:

    I think its only the 2nd time in my life that a man has taken my breath away just at the sight of him.........neither of them I had a chance with :rotfl:but nice to look at.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Well if you can't be naughty on your birthday when can you be?
